    And I quote

    I am feeling kind so here is another hint (I told you yesterday no headliner starts with an R): No headliner starts with a P! OK one sleep 'til we meet right here and start the 1st announce party...


    FUCK. YES.

    so is the "no headliners starting with a P" facebook post enough to stop this madness?
    Sure does...and rules out many other that were heavily rumoured...Prince, Radiohead, RHCP. BDO has a history of recycling their acts (KOL, Tool, Muse, the Prodigy, Foo Fighters, System of a Down, Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Kasabian, Rammstein, Deftones, Iggy and the Stooges are just a couple who've played at least twice) so I dare say the headliner has already played BDO before.


    I'm still backing the 20 announced bands will be one major act from each year of BDO.



    I'm gonna throw it out there that the "no headliner starts with P" doesn't rule out pearl jam from playing the BDO. It just means they or gonna be playing the boiler room between some dub step acts.

    Well, I'm stumped - unless this is all some elaborate joke on behalf of the BDO organisers.

    I'm thinking the same thing. PJ could still come for BDO.

    Rumours have been coming from Triple M, Live Nation and Music Feeds but the official BDO Facebook page says there are no headliner bands beginning with an R or a P.

    The bdo promoter said no headliner starts with p
    That safely rules em out

    Unless they're playing 35 min lillypad set in the Arvo :(

    Who knows. Maybe they just want a holiday in Australia in January and don't want to play for long. :)

    Well I was checking the list of acts that have played past big day outs and to me some of the bands announced were bigger or more popular then the "headliners" the same year.

    Like 2000 blink 182 was a headliner over Red Hot Chili Peppers

    2001 Mudvayne headliner over placebo, queens of the stone age, even the black eyed peas should headline over Mudvayne.

    2005 slipknot headline over The hives and chemical brothers.

    And last year M.I.A was a headliner.

    No PJ at BDO is a good thing.

    Yeah, especially if this means we'll get a genuine PJ tour instead.
